Our staff comes with many years of experience in the fields of occupational therapy, special education, and adult services. Our staff-to-participant ratio rarely exceeds 1:3 and often times is less! We hold great value in keeping these ratios low so we can provide training that is not “one size fits all” but instead is customized to each individual's goals. The staff-to-participant ratio truly allows for personalized teaching moments at any given time. We believe our success has been built on carefully selecting staff that bring the right level of experience, compassion, and excitement for working with persons with disabilities to The Haase House.
Mary Haase is an occupational therapist and has additional certifications as a Transition Specialist and an Autism Specialist. She has thirty years of experience working in various school districts and has long advocated for her own son with autism along with many other families and their loved ones with disabilities. Mary's passion to leave her full-time job and start a business back in 2017 stemmed from the limited specialized programming options available to her son in his youth and adulthood. Her main goal at THH is to help other families facing the same challenges. She provides direct services to participants, develops curriculum and programming, and manages THH staff. She also currently works as the local family coordinator of a grant through the WI Persons with Developmental Disabilities Board.

Hi, my name is Kelly Weyer and I am from Mukwonago, Wisconsin. I started attending The Haase House in 2017. I began with in-home services with THH staff. We focused on daily living skills like grocery shopping, math, and coping skills. In 2019, I was hired as a part-time staff. Some of my duties include cooking for the clients and cleaning the house over the weekend. I also like helping with the clients on art and crafts day when me and my mom are setting up to get things ready for the clients. In my spare time, I like to do diamond art, draw, and hang out with my friends and family. I also work at the Mukwonago Animal hospital for three days a week and live independently in my own apartment. My favorite part about working at the Haase House is going out on special events and bonding with the clients.

Hi! My name is Renee Weiss-Manser. I retired in 2019 after 29 years as a licensed physical therapist assistant in Illinois and then relocated to East Troy, WI with my husband Jim. We have six children and 16 grandkids who keep us very busy at times. We enjoy being on the lake, fishing, and swimming. When I’m not busy with our family, I enjoy gardening, cooking, baking, reading, yoga, and taking walks. Over the course of my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with special needs children and young adults. Now, I find myself missing the interactions with this special group and have decided to give back to the community that I now belong to. I plan to volunteer as I am able.
